Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic has labelled his side's comeback against Germany as one of the greatest moments of his career.

Germany stormed to a 4-0 lead with 30 minutes left to play, before Ibrahimovic helped the Swedes to complete a remarkable comeback and earn a 4-4 draw in their Group C encounter.

After the game, the 31-year-old revealed the delight of the Swedish camp at the result.

"I do not know if it is possible to explain," Ibrahimovic told Kanal 5. "After 4-0 and I don't know how long was left, half an hour, 35 minutes, so there were not many who would have believed how the match ended, but we did it."

"There were 11 other players who came out in the second-half, we played in a completely different way. I think we were too cowardly and had too much respect [for Germany] in the first half.

"But we got out, got the first and we gained more and more confidence. The second, the third and in the end we scored the fourth. I do not know how to describe it. I cannot describe it. You see the entire bench run towards the players, everyone is extremely happy and the fans were fantastic today. Individually, it's not the biggest thing I have done before, but as a team it's probably one of the best."

Germany stay top of Group C while Sweden sit in second place.
